How to play Hunter?

[Archefiend]

So my question is-How to play hunter so, that you would be sucesfull?
I just want to hear all your tips, suggestions etc., because you must admit ppl, that playing hunter requires some skill and brains.(like any other class ofc)

At the moment I can kill 2 easy oponents if going solo(with a bit of luck) make a little use at fort wars(preventing them from taking down gate as long as possible, going out and killing conjus or low hp ppl under camo,sometimes if I have patience,try to recapture forts). My lvl is 54 and hunter is my main,playing 3,5 weeks now. (does it means Im still noob for this game? )

It doesn't.

All you need to do is spam Ensnaring arrow level 5 every 8 seconds then cast the following out of Camouflage level 5:
- Confuse level 5
- Ambush level 5
- Cold Blood level 5


That's about it.

You forgot Teabag level 5. No hunter can win without that!

(Although I hear Dance and Clap are almost as powerful of spells...)

U forgot distracting shot 5,stunning fist 5 and caltrops 5. But better skill SoTW and retail at 5 too.

Hahahha Powned.

I think what this guy means is that playing hunter WITHOUT the dirty spells needs some brains and skills. That's true, I use Conf on 2, not really a fan of confuse. I use ensnaring and CB on 5 though, pretty hard to do not and still own some. Anyway, there is no specific way to play a class everybody has their own 'style' of playing a class. As soon as you figured out yours you won't need help but will help others instead.

Play whichever way is fun to you. People can suggest nice set ups, but in the end, if the set up is no fun, the game will be no fun as well.

I like having pet because with Bestial Wrath its normals are awesome if I cast Sudden Strike on the enemy.

Small tip:before casting reveal use tracks then will know where it shoulda be casted.

i skill both sb and lb, i have rapib shot 4, tear apart 4, lb has Parabolic 3, ambush5, stun fist4, clatrops' arrow 4, distracting shot 4( i skilled at lvl3 a while back, i found sometimes u need longer time to either regenerate mana hp or stun ur oppent), confuse 4, studden stike 1, max mobility, i tend to skill high concern, it brings down the resists rates, at least i believe it helps. retaliation3, ensarning arrow5, CB 4( it's mana sucks, i found at lvl4 is enough), reveal 1, stalker 2. My tips to fellow hunters, try not to take out high lvl locks or warjus when u're on solo setup , it usually turns out badly; try to start a fight at open area( where there's no trees or rocks) ,if u run into a warrior. if u run into a marx, confuse, cc, dot, run behind him, shot shot spell..... stun fist, shot...... distracing shot cc, dot, shot, spells, marx dead
